About Pallet Wrap

Pallet wrap, also known as pallet stretch wrap, is a crucial packaging material used in logistics and shipping to secure and protect goods during transit and storage. This thin, elastic-plastic film is tightly stretched around pallets, providing a secure and stable packaging solution. It stabilizes loads, prevents shifting, and protects against dust, moisture, and tampering. The elastic properties of pallet wrap enable it to conform tightly to the shape of the load, creating a strong bond and ensuring items stay in place.

Advantages of Pallet Plastic Wrap

i) Load Stability: Provides a secure and stable packaging solution, preventing shifting and toppling.

ii) Protection: Shields goods from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors.

iii) Tamper-Evident: Makes it clear if a load has been accessed or compromised.

iv) Ease of Use: Easily applied by hand or with tension handles.

v) Cost-Effective: Provides an economical solution for securing loads.

How to Choose Pallet Stretch Film

i) Load Type: Consider the type of load and its stability requirements.

ii) Film Thickness: Choose the appropriate gauge based on the weight and dimensions of the load.

iii) Stretchability: Select a film with the right amount of stretch to ensure a secure hold.

iv) Environmental Conditions: Opt for a film that offers protection against specific environmental factors.

v) Application Method: Decide between hand wrap or machine wrap based on your packaging process.

How to Safely Wrap a Pallet

i) Preparation: Ensure the pallet is clean and free of debris.

ii) Placement: Position the load evenly on the pallet.

iii) Starting Point: Begin wrapping at the base of the pallet.

iv) Wrapping Technique: Use overlapping layers for added security.

v) Tension: Maintain consistent tension to avoid tearing.

vi) Finish: Secure the end of the wrap by tucking it under a previous layer.

Types of Pallet Stretch Wrap

i) Cast Extended Core Pallet Stretch Wrap:

Cast Extended Core Pallet Stretch Wrap is one of the most popular types on the market. This tear-resistant film releases smoothly and quietly from the roll, making it ideal for most wrapping applications. Its extended core allows for easy application by hand, without the need for additional tools.

ii) High Performance Pallet Wrap:

High Performance Pallet Wrap is produced using a special manufacturing process that makes it thin and pliable while offering higher performance per gauge compared to traditional stretch wraps. This film is recommended for quickly and easily packaging important items, providing excellent load stability and protection.

iii) Made In USA Pallet Wrap:

Made In USA Pallet Wrap is produced domestically, supporting American manufacturing. This high-quality wrap offers reliable performance and durability, ensuring your loads remain secure during transit and storage.

FAQs

Q1. How many times should you wrap a pallet? 

Ans. Typically, you should wrap a pallet around three to five times, ensuring that the wrap covers the entire load and overlaps by about 50%. This helps to secure the load and provide adequate stability.

Q2. How strong is pallet wrap? 

Ans.  Pallet wrap is highly durable and elastic, capable of stretching and conforming to the shape of the load. Its strength varies depending on the thickness (gauge) of the film, with higher gauge wraps offering greater tensile strength and puncture resistance.

Q3. What is pallet plastic wrap made of? 

Ans. Pallet plastic wrap is made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), a type of plastic known for its stretchability, strength, and durability. This material allows the wrap to securely hold loads while providing protection against environmental factors.

Q4. Can you reuse pallet stretch wrap? 

Ans. While pallet stretch wrap is designed for single-use to ensure maximum load stability and protection, in some cases, it can be reused if it remains intact and free from tears or punctures. However, its effectiveness may diminish with reuse.
